Rob Pitt writes: Arcade Spirits is an Otome-style Visual Novel, in that the main purpose is to ultimately work on your relationships with the people you meet to the point of becoming a partner with one of them. The main difference here is that the game allows you to be who you want and also date whoever you wish as well. Its very LGBT friendly, yet youre never forced to do anything that you, the player, dont want to do.
So, dont get your panties in a twist and instantly think this game is out there to change your views on things, it really isnt, its there to be more inclusive and adaptive to the players desires.
